Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for attaching a roping rope, comprising an open hook containing a rotary wheel equipped with at least two notches for receiving the rope, and a non-return mechanism for locking the wheel in a predetermined angular position.
  • a hooking device of the kind mentioned is marketed by the company MAMMUT, to allow assembly of the roping rope. It comprises a carabiner inside which is arranged a rotating wheel with three notches distributed at 120 ° from each other. The wheel is associated with a non-return ratchet which allows rotation of the wheel in one direction of rotation, but blocks it in the opposite direction. To introduce the loop of rope in the receiving notch, it is necessary to precisely place the rotating wheel in a given angular position, to allow the introduction of the rope. Such an adjustment must be made manually before placing the rope.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a hooking device for rope roping, allowing a quick and easy implementation of the rope.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the wheel is equipped with a resilient hard-point system for automatically positioning one of the notches opposite the entry interval of the hook.
  • the hard point system is formed by a pair of balls interposed between a spring inside an oval housing of the wheel.
  • the balls are supported on the inner periphery of the oval housing, and tend to occupy a stable position when they extend along the major axis of the housing.
  • the ball and spring assembly passes through a diametrical recess formed in a cylindrical portion of the axis of the wheel.
  • the anti-return mechanism comprises a pivoting pawl biased by a spring to cooperate alternately with a pair of notches diametrically opposed to the periphery of the wheel.
  • a hooking device 10 is intended to attach a roping rope to the upper part of a climbing path. It comprises a rotating wheel 11 mounted on a central axis 12 inside an open body 13 in the form of a hook.
  • the body 13 is provided at the upper end with a base 14 provided with a circular orifice 15, said base being separated from the other end of the hook by a gap 16 for the introduction of the rope.
  • the axis 12 of the wheel 11 is carried by two parallel plates 17, 18 of identical structures flanking the body 13, and assembled to the two opposite faces of the latter by fastening screws 19 passing through the holes 20.
  • Each plate 17, 18 has a peripheral contour similar to that of the body 13, with in addition an internal bulge 21 in the central part delimiting a curvilinear opening 22 extending to the interval 16 of the body 13.
  • the wheel 11 is provided with at least two notches 23, 24 in diametrically opposed U, and each intended to receive the rope during its introduction.
  • a non-return mechanism 25 is associated with the wheel 11 to allow its rotation in one direction (that of the clockwise in the case of the figure 1 ), and to block it in the opposite direction.
  • the wheel 11 may be equipped with three or four notches.
  • the non-return mechanism 25 comprises a pivoting pawl 26 biased by a compression spring 27 by cooperating alternately with two notches 28, 29 diametrically opposed to the periphery of the wheel 11.
  • the pivot axis of the ratchet 26 is advantageously constituted by one of the fixing screws 19 of the plates 17, 18.
  • the center of the wheel 11 comprises a housing 30 of oval or elliptical shape intended to cooperate with a cylindrical portion 12a of the axis 12.
  • This cylindrical portion 12a is drilled diametrically by a transverse recess 12b, in which is housed a point system hard elastic.
  • the hard point system comprises a pair of balls 31, 32 housed between a compression spring 33.
  • the balls 31, 32 bear on the inner periphery of the oval housing, and occupy a stable position when they extend along the major axis of the housing 30. In this position, one of the notches 23 ( figure 1 ) is disposed opposite the gap 16 to facilitate the introduction of the rope without requiring manual positioning of the wheel 11.
  • the elastic hard point system can of course be arranged differently without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the pawl 26 is housed inside the base 14 of the body 13, and can be unlocked manually through an access groove 35 arranged in line with the spring 27.
  • the rotational travel of the wheel 11 corresponds to a half turn, and the pawl 26 comes into engagement with the second notch 29.
  • the notch 23 is closed at the bottom of the opening 22, and the other notch 24 occupies the diametrically opposite open position, corresponding to that of the notch 23 on the figure 3 .
